Welcome back to the Lyme Podcast. My name is Aaron Alexander. This is a place that we bring together

the world's leading experts in all things health and wellness to help you optimize your mind,

body and movement. Today's gorgeous conversation is with the good Dr. Becca

Levy. Dr. Becca Levy is a professor of epidemiology which focuses on

social and behavioral sciences at Yale School of Public Health.

She is a professor of psychology at Yale University.

She is a leading researcher in the fields of social gerontology and psychology of aging, which gerontology,

I'm not sure if it's gerontology or gerontology actually, but essentially it is the psychology of aging.

She is credited with creating the field of how age stereotypes which are assimilated from our culture impact the health of older individuals.

The Dean of Columbia School of Public Health describes Levy as a pioneer in the growing body of impressive research showing that our attitudes toward

aging affect our health, our resilience in the face of adversity and our very survival.

She's had a book come out called Breaking the Aging Code, how your beliefs about

aging determine how long and well you live. This conversation is very interesting.

The way that our perspectives inform the growth and development and

manifestation of ourselves at a cellular structural level. It's very interesting.

And so that is what we get into in this conversation. I think you're going to get a lot out of this and just a beautiful thing to ponder on. How do your momentary day-to-day thoughts and form the production of your future and present self.
